Praise Focus-Knowing Jesus as God

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus comes from Colossians 2, verses 9 and 10.

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.

This declaration affirms Jesus as God. He was the Word who became flesh and made His dwelling among people 2,000 years ago. He came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

We are incomplete until we fully embrace His Divine love for us. Blaise Pascal was a French philosopher who once said, “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.”

When we accept Jesus as Deity, embrace His love for us, and welcome His authority over us, He will reveal to us the sufficiency of His grace.

Knowing Jesus as God is a reason to praise Him in the Year of Focus.
